Meet Your Teacher

AP Chemistry is an detailed look at advanced chemistry topics. It goes far beyond the topics of first year chemistry. This makes the course challenging and fun for people interested in chemistry. There is a heavy emphasis on problem solving which means your focus should first be on the relationships between chemical systems. The labs are more involved and require real preparation outside of the classroom.
 
This level of chemistry is fascinating and fun.
